“From global manufacturing expertise to Canadian innovation, our mission has always been to transform ideas into solutions that make a measurable difference.”
Every successful company begins with an idea. The ones that leave a lasting impact begin with a purpose.
For Innovative Global Ideas (IGI), that purpose has remained unchanged since its founding in Thailand in July 2017: to transform innovative thinking into practical, sustainable solutions that help businesses grow, industries operate more efficiently, and communities benefit from smarter technologies.
Founded by two best friends, Muhammad Irfan and Damrongsak Chuengyang, and later joined by Hassan Adeel Shehzad, Reema Yousuf, and Sadia Ahtsham, IGI was built on a simple belief: customers deserve more than a supplier. They deserve a trusted partner capable of delivering complete solutions, from concept to completion.
With extensive experience in international manufacturing, product development, and global trade, the founders recognized that many organizations faced the same challenge: finding reliable, high-quality products supported by genuine technical expertise and dependable service.
Rather than focusing solely on manufacturing, they envisioned a company capable of integrating innovation, engineering, customization, and international logistics into one seamless experience.
That vision became the foundation of IGI
From its earliest days, IGI concentrated on developing premium-quality products that combined performance, reliability, and long-term value. While expanding its international sourcing capabilities, the company also began designing advanced lighting solutions engineered to reduce energy consumption, improve operational efficiency, and embrace emerging smart technologies. Mobile application integration, intelligent lighting controls, automation, and connected lighting systems became part of the company’s commitment to creating solutions that were not only energy efficient but also prepared for the future.
The company’s rapid growth during its early years demonstrated that innovation has no geographical boundaries. Within a short period, IGI established business relationships across multiple international markets, supplying customers throughout Asia and the Middle East while earning a reputation for quality, consistency, and dependable delivery.
Like businesses around the world, IGI faced unprecedented challenges during the global pandemic. Rather than allowing uncertainty to define its future, the company chose innovation over hesitation. Its engineering efforts shifted toward developing specialized lighting technologies designed to support healthcare facilities, public environments, and residential applications where enhanced sanitation and energy efficiency became increasingly important. The experience reinforced one of IGI’s defining characteristics: resilience through continuous innovation.
As global markets recovered, IGI entered a new chapter
Recognizing North America’s growing demand for advanced, energy-efficient technologies, the company strategically established its Canadian operations in 2023, selecting Manitoba as the foundation for its next phase of growth. More than a geographic expansion, Canada represented an opportunity to bring manufacturing expertise, technical innovation, and customer support closer to one of the world’s most dynamic markets while strengthening relationships throughout Canada, the United States, Mexico, and beyond.
Today, Winnipeg serves as the home of IGI Canada’s growing operations, supporting warehousing, local assembly, product development, and future manufacturing initiatives that reflect the company’s long-term commitment to investing in Canada’s innovation ecosystem.
Greeno2®: Driving Innovation Beyond Product Design at IGI
The company delivers comprehensive project solutions that guide customers through every stage of development, from consultation, lighting simulation, engineering analysis, and energy-saving assessments to customized product development, OEM manufacturing, certification support, packaging design, logistics coordination, installation guidance, and dependable delivery. This integrated approach allows clients to work with a single experienced partner capable of transforming complex ideas into practical, commercially successful solutions.
At the heart of every project is a multidisciplinary team whose expertise spans lighting engineering, electrical systems, software development, human resources, international trade, manufacturing, and business strategy. This combination of technical knowledge and practical experience enables IGI to develop solutions tailored not only to today’s market requirements but also to tomorrow’s opportunities.
The company’s philosophy is built upon four enduring principles: knowledge, partnership, innovation, and trust. These values shape every relationship, every product, and every decision. Customers choose IGI because they receive more than premium-quality products—they gain access to industry expertise, customized engineering, transparent collaboration, and a long-term partner committed to their success.
As IGI continues to expand its international presence, the company remains focused on developing intelligent, sustainable technologies that contribute to smarter buildings, stronger businesses, and more energy-efficient communities. Through its Canadian operations, its registered Greeno2 lighting brand, and its continued investment in research, product development, and intellectual property, IGI is helping shape the next generation of lighting innovation.
From a startup founded with a clear vision in 2017 to an internationally connected innovation company with a growing Canadian footprint, IGI’s journey demonstrates what can be achieved when technical expertise is guided by purpose, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to creating lasting value.
For IGI, innovation has never been about changing products alone. It is about improving the way people build, work, connect, and grow—one idea, one partnership, and one solution at a time.
Building Global Partnerships from Canada
With its Canadian operations established in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and the continued growth of its registered Greeno2® lighting brand, IGI is expanding its reach beyond North America to serve customers around the world.
The company is actively building strategic partnerships with distributors, OEM partners, engineering firms, contractors, and project developers across Canada, the United States, Mexico, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and other emerging international markets. Backed by innovation, engineering expertise, and a commitment to quality, IGI is ready to deliver intelligent, energy-efficient solutions for the next generation of commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects.
Together, the company is not simply exporting lighting products—it is sharing Canadian innovation with the world.
